Something along those lines is to use thin pancakes instead of the lasagne sheets but you have to get the consistency of the sauce right, can't be too liquidy.

I'll try almost anything eggs and rice bubbles just don't do it for mehttps://www.ubeaut.biz/blotto.bmp

Yeah Im getting pecky too, Might go and have my octopus leftover from last night yum.
My wife and kids won't touch my favourate brecky.
1 x onion sliced poached in milk
when onions go clear throw in a handfull of grated cheese and a pinch of nutmeg serve on toast.

I dont think I want to go to asia.

Give me good basic food cooked properly without weird stuff....... AND NOT IN A PILE.

cheers

You wouldn't, er, be enthusiastic about, say, a cramp of potatoes...:D :D :D :D Sorry Soundman, some things are just tooooo tempting. Me go now...

I once took my life in my hands and tried to eat some Army food.
Was glad when that short stint was over and went back to RAAF food, on plates:D

I did draw the line at barbecued Tiger snake and I can't handle Beetroot, haven't tried Witchetty Grubs but would, love anything frrom the sea that hasn't been frozen but I wouldn't bee too keen on the Rice Bubbles and Bumnuts....

Offal by name, awful by taste.

Offal..... begins with a vowel......there's the warning.

Army food..... begins with a vowel..... there it is again

potatoes are fine..... don't start with a vowel.

cheers

That is wierd, but I don't go for rice bubbles anyway.
I have tried cooked jellyfish in a Chinese restaurant and couldn't finish the bowl...I'd reached my limit to species and part there of.:cool:
One of wierdest combination meals I've tried and enjoyed was bananas wrapped in ham and topped with cheese, baked:D. Very nice but can't afford it now...

Cheers

I ate some weird things when I lived in Japan, one I couldn't recognise but it may have been fermented entrails of some creature marinated in sewerage(was a bar top snack). Couldn't come at a raw egg on rice for brekky, or natto, and I drew the line at horse liver sashimi, although horse (skeletal muscle) sashimi was quite nice.
Apart from that everything else was good, especially the beer and canned ice coffee.
Deep fried silk worms in Korea was also memorable, not good but memorable

Cheers

I loved all the tucker in Japan, even if I didn't know what it was. I love all offal except tripe, and consider brains, lambs heart and liver delicacies. I've eaten flying fox and witchety grubs and found them OK. (Flying fox tastes like chicken.) Oysters I prefer straight out of the shell, but will eat them any old how.

But I can't understand how anyone can bring themselves to eat pumpkin or cabbage. Pumpkin is only fit for feeding to cattle, and the best that can be said about cabbage is that it makes good compost.

Cooking disasters - Boiled Lettuce. Mum got the 'directions' from one of her friends at the local bowling club. When I smelt it, I went out and sat on the front fence until the smell had cleared & refused to eat it - Mum, Dad & Grandmother all tried it - at least one mouthful - before it went in the compost bin. No idea if the directions got a bit scrambled with a few sweet sherries or if it was some sort of weird joke/revenge, but what came out was truely awful. And it doesn't start with a vowel.

Odd breakfast food - I had an acquaintance who always had orange juice on his Wheatbix instead of milk - seems he picked the idea somewhere in his travels.

I believe the correct quote goes something like:- 'Cantonese will eat anything with 4 legs except the table, and anything that flies except airplanes"

I just love Biltong. That is the South African name for dried meat. Usually beef, but could also be kangaroo, antelope, elephant, ostrich or buffalo. The meat is air dried (unlike jerky that is oven dried). Lots of beer to go with it. Due to the salty nature it lets one work up a thirst (similar to irish music that make one thirsty):D

I had a greek dish once - octopus pasta cooked in the octopus ink. A bit gritty but very yummy. The waiter did warn me about one thing though, and he was right, the ... um ... morning movement was black for a week :eek:

Peanut butter and sweet chilli sauce on toast.. mmmmmmm, yum!
Or get a spoonful of peanut butter and dip it in the milo tin. Bit sticky, but good. Don't tell my kids I said that.

Look, this place is already bad enough for my lifestyle ... :mad: :D :D

Soundman, you're right, they do eat some strange stuff here.

For example, tonights dinner was very wierd.

Some enormous spider looking thing was the main part, with some kinda liquid and rabbit food in it, some thin pastry covered bits of garlic, mince pork and more rabbit food. And the mandatory white grain looking crud. :p

It was tough, but I managed to choke it all down. :rolleyes:

Dessert is, I think, something truly off the scale.

Chocolate covered potato chips. :eek:



Now, seriously, I have seen and eaten more wacky stuff since I got here than I could imagine. I won't say I don't like it till I try it most of the time, unless I just can't handle the look of it. Like sea cucumber...

Universal excuse is "the taste is ok, can't handle the texture". Gets me out of being forced into eating 'normal' stuff like mochi (rice pounded into oblivion, think rice flavoured chewing gum.), sashimi (raw fish (and animal), think fish flavoured chewing gum) and natto (rotting beans, think vomit flavoured chewing gum).


Do like raw tuna though. :D
